Fair Farms paid a visit to The Ugly Pig, aa charcuterie and delicatessen, to learn about owner George Williams’ business — bringing “Old World” foods to consumers at his store in Annapolis. He not only cures his own meats and makes prepared foods, but he does it all while sourcing nearly everything he sells from within the state of Maryland.

We then went with George to the farm where he sources his pork, Garden Family Farm in Davidsonville. There, we met farmer/owner Dr. Richard Garden. George and Rich talk about their working relationship and their philosophy of farming in tune with the ecosystem.
